Palaeontologists at Work

Wow this was exciting! Room 10 became palaeontologists and were challenged to find a rock fossil, take it back to the class laboratory and extract the fossils from it using their special tools. We found out it was much more difficult than we had anticipated. Watch the slideshow to find out more about this amazing, once in a lifetime experience.

Team 2: Great start to swimming today!

Well done to all the Team 2 tamariki who came prepared for swimming today with their togs and towels. Ka mau te wehi!  The smiles were a mile wide and EVERYONE enjoyed their session.
Remember you need to have them every day. There were a couple of issues with clothing but it was easy to sort because it had been named. Please check everything is named. We are taking nearly 100 kids to the pool and they need to be able to manage themselves. This is a really valuable life skill too! Thanks to those parents who have paid, please do so by the end of this week if you have not yet paid.
What did you enjoy at swimming today? What would you like to get better at? Have you set a swimming goal yet? Comment and share...

Team 2 Swimming @ Clive Pools Starts Tomorrow!

Remember your togs Team 2 kids - can't wait for swimming lessons to start tomorrow. Please make sure all your gear is named - it's going to be FABULOUS!! :)

Bunny Love xox

Name this cutie!

Four of the cutest, furriest, cuddliest visitors came to see us in Room 10 today. It was such a warm, fuzzy start to our learning day and we loved it! Thanks Mel and Tyler for sharing your gorgeous little pets. You are very lucky to have such beautiful baby bunnies! Tyler would like some help with deciding the name for the little brown one he is going to keep. If you have a great suggestion, add it in a comment. There is a prize for the best name and of course that will be the bunny's new name. How special!

Cape Kidnappers by Nina

I went to Cape Kidnappers 4 years ago when my big sister Amber was here from Australia.  Here are some pictures.  Every year we camp at Clifton and we can always see the Cape from our camp.  I can't wait to see the gannets again! Check out the cuties in the pink and blue t-shirts - it's Nina and Georgia!

You can choose a category and focus on books that are a 'good fit' for you. I am absolutely amazed at the fantastic choice of quality texts and I can't wait to hear what you enjoy reading.

Term 4 Wow!

Super sand trail

What the?
There were many exclamations of 'wow!' when students checked out Room 10 this morning.
The sand path through the classroom was a way to kick off our topic and to get everyone thinking.
Using the framework of 'I know', 'I think' and 'I wonder' we recorded our ideas around the sand.
Our trip in Week 4 - 7 November will be AMAZING!
Where are we going?
See if you can figure it out!
